/**
@class wxTaskBarIcon
This class represents a taskbar icon.
A taskbar icon is an icon that appears in the 'system tray' and responds to
mouse clicks, optionally with a tooltip above it to help provide information.
@section taskbaricon_xnote X Window System Note
Under X Window System, the window manager must support either the
"System Tray Protocol" (see http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/systemtray-spec)
by freedesktop.org (WMs used by modern desktop environments such as GNOME >= 2,
KDE >= 3 and XFCE >= 4 all do) or the older methods used in GNOME 1.2 and KDE 1 and 2.
If it doesn't, the icon will appear as a toplevel window on user's desktop.
Because not all window managers have system tray, there's no guarantee that
wxTaskBarIcon will work correctly under X Window System and so the applications
should use it only as an optional component of their user interface.
The user should be required to explicitly enable the taskbar icon on Unix,
it shouldn't be on by default.
@beginEventEmissionTable{wxTaskBarIconEvent}
Note that not all ports are required to send these events and so it's better
to override wxTaskBarIcon::CreatePopupMenu() or wxTaskBarIcon::GetPopupMenu()
if all that the application does is that it shows a popup menu in reaction to
mouse click.
@event{EVT_TASKBAR_MOVE(func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_TASKBAR_MOVE event.
@event{EVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_DOWN(func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_DOWN event.
@event{EVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_UP(func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_UP event.
@event{EVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_DOWN(func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_DOWN event.
@event{EVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_UP(func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_UP event.
@event{EVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_DCLICK(func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_TASKBAR_LEFT_DCLICK event.
@event{EVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_DCLICK(func)}
Process a @c wxEVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_DCLICK event.
@event{EVT_TASKBAR_CLICK(func)}
This is a synonym for either EVT_TASKBAR_RIGHT_DOWN or UP depending on
the platform, use this event macro to catch the event which should result
in the menu being displayed on the current platform.

user's desktop environment. Most modern desktops support the tray via
the System Tray Protocol by freedesktop.org
(http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/systemtray-spec).
@note Tray availability may change during application's lifetime
under X11 and so applications shouldn't cache the result.
@note wxTaskBarIcon supports older GNOME 1.2 and KDE 1/2 methods of
adding icons to tray, but they are unreliable and this method
doesn't detect them.

CreatePopupMenu() is called next and its menu is used (if non-@NULL).
Otherwise the menu returned by GetPopupMenu() is shown and, contrary to
